Harbour lights are smiling and a

lighthouse keeper is turning up his lamp once more

(Chorus)
(G) E Am D

G D Am Am C G G G D(/Dm/D)
Walk on the ocean and I, talk to the sky
That's pretty much it. There's a much more complicated chord run down around the second progression in the verse (Am - D - G) on the lyrics sheet I've got, (written on by Chris for my dad at Hull college in the early 70s), but I could never get my head round them, the above works fine for me, and that manuscript is in Hull; I'm in Hanoi so I can't find out right now.
